A guy I know told me the other day that he saw "Erin" earlier in the day. I asked who Erin was. He said, "You know Erin, works at (restaurant we frequent), blue eyes, blond hair, big boobs.". Well, gee, blue eyes and blond hair narrowed it down. Add the boobs, yah, dead giveaway.

His friends Toby and John might have figured it out with the boobs, but me? I get that a lot of men think along the line of body parts. But if he is trying to get me to remember one gal, among many with blond hair, blue eyes and big boobs that we know, wouldn't it make sense to find some other "attribute" to work my memory with?

Just one of those things that make me go .

This is how men think. I remember a conversation between my son, my daughter, and me about a teacher he was trying to describe. He didn't do a great job. Meanwhile, my daughter was saying things like, "Was he tall, with gray receding hair or was he shorter with a mustache?" My son couldn't answer her. To men, the devil is in the details. For the most part, they're better at seeing the big picture.

Disclaimer: Yes, there are exceptions! But I still stand by my generalization.

That's funny, so many guys I know do that. They'll be talking about someone who works in another building and if anyone looks confused about who they're talking about, someone gestures with their hands in front of their chest to imply big boobs without saying a word, then there's a chorus of "oh yeah, now I know who you're talking about".

If you ask men what they first notice when they see a woman and they don't say, "their t!t$", you know you have a liar on your hands.

There's something deliciously mysterious about womens breasts. Can't put my finger on it (I'd like to), but there.........just................IS.

Would you have him say that she was a floozy instead? "You know, the blond hair blue eyed floozy that always takes our order at the restaurant." So he said she has a big chest, big deal. If he doesn't know anything else about her what else would you expect him to say? "You know, the blond hair blue eyed floozy that always takes our order and mixes it up with someone else's."

Well, I am guessing there are other ways of describing her...I can think of numerous ways of describing men I know besides...you know the guy with the black hair, blue eyes and big d***ck. YKIM?

A male coworker was telling me about a woman in a meeting..what woman? Ya know, the woman with the big flotation devices....flotation devices? YOU MEAN BREASTS? Just say breasts!!!

I guess youve never heard about a ship with sleek hull, great full sails with cute ornaments and a well shaped stern then? :P

So what if a woman doesn't have big boobs? Do you say "the chick with the tiny boobs"?

This makes me wonder how people describe me. Like that episode on Seinfeld where they describe each other in insulting ways
I usually go with hair color & style, race, height, weight, and dress/style.

Well, she's not a floozy. We know her well enough for him to be able to describe her to me without reference to her boobs. She works as a hostess. Her boyfriend is Virgil. Various other references if his goal is to actually remind me of who she is. I'm not offended, it's not that big of a deal, it just one of those things that make me wonder about the male brain.
